Ok so I supposed the scene with Saki, Nodoka, and Tacos at the end of Achiga episode 10 hasn't appeared in the manga yet. Where were they heading? More importantly, near the end of that scene Nodoka seened to notice someone now who might that be?

In that scene Kiyosumi's 2nd round match would of concluded the previous day so this is ahead of the current manga. They're probably sightseeing right now or something which I guess is confirmation they won their match or at the very least advanced....not that it was ever really in doubt...

Oh, ok, I see. I heard about how the main manga is very slow. Never though side manga is actually ahead of the main manga.

Both of the manga in the Saki franchise are on monthly release schedules, so yeah, they ARE slow. Achiga-hen gets around this though by having big chapters per release (usually in the order of 30 pages and more).

It should get interesting, if Saki is smart she'll try to finish Eisui off while the opportunity allows. With Kasumi locked in her all out attack mode and the situation making it so easy for Saki to make Kans she should be able to destroy Kasumi and have Miyamori advance instead. Nothing would add to Kiyosumi's infamy more then eliminating the third seed school of the tournament in their opening match.

Plus a possible hint to this happening is that Miyamori's advisor still seems to be around for Shizuno to talk to even though the time frame is after Saki's current match. Though I couldn't find confirmation that the tournament is a "win or go home" type of match, maybe the losers do stick around to watch the remaining matches after they get eliminated so this is just speculation.

Setsuna's comments when seeing this while slacking around after A-LAWS conflict: Get me 00 Raiser! I am going to save her, and no one stops me!

Recent episode 10.
Don't know the trans-am with 00 Gundam is spreading around through various ways... Even in mahjong animes...
Treating Trans-am as an ability to read 2 turns ahead and Toki is 00 Gundam.

well it seems like my hunch was right on. The semi-finals (aswell as the anime manga of Achiga-hen) is going to end with Teru, no second man needed. In the end kuro will all dora ron a yakuman off one of the other 2, dipping them below 0, making shiraitodai advance as number 1 and achiga as #2

If you are assuming that we don't know about the extra episodes, then yes it will end with a big hand... Which will drop them to below 0.

Spoiler for interview:

But if we know what the extra episodes gonna show, then no, it won't end there. Teru may deal into other's hand.

It's said that Saki has colorful past about mahjong with her sister that make her want to go to Nationals.
And here Saki said that "Haramura-san too?"
Which that i Interpret as Nodoka also has a past with someone that involve with National.
Nodoka parent are police Investigator and lawyer (i think they are no involve in Mahjong).
Nodoka learn Mahjong in hospital with old folk.
So, by "Haramura colorful past" i mean that the lost friends Achiga.

Conclusion:
Nodoka went to Nationals to publicity her existence to her Achiga friend that even though they are live apart, they still can met at nationals. And the Achiga answer her calling to National.

In the last scene in Achiga episode 10, I think nodoca will come too the tournament and met her friends.
And Achiga will lose in semifinal but still can met with Nodoca (I can't think that Achiga powerful enough to become runner-up and beat Senriyama (Shiratodai the first)).

I actually like your idea. If say Achiga lose at episode 12 and the last 3 remaining episodes spent on them reuniting with Nodoka and they had a friendly match with Kiyosumi that would be nice.

However, as much as I would like to see Senriyama made it through to the finals, the situation that you suggested seemed unlikely.

If Nodoka had been expecting her friends at the national, how come she never contact them before? There is also her dream sequence at the beginning of episode 10 where she questioned herself, "Why was she having this dream now?" And what about Saki? I don't think she has any intention of meeting her sister before their match in the finals. And more importantly, how will Achiga manga continue after the point you mentioned here?

I think(and I hope) teru will end up smashing them, engage comeback for later rounds, end up second place but very close. But yeah that dream hopefully doesn't foreshadow their(achiga's) win. Even though I dislike everyone in the achiga anime besides Teru, I hope the achiga girls don't just disappear after this and still have some relevance by meeting up with Kiyosumi at least.
